It appears that MOD Power is utilized to supply power to the CPU and internal card electronics, while SA may be responsible for powering the IO side of the cards. However, it seems that the 5069-OB8 card may not follow this standard. Does the power distribution vary depending on the card in use? Understanding the power supply requirements for different automation cards is crucial for optimal performance.
The 5069 platform features three distinct power busses: Module, Sensor/Actuator (SA), and Local Actuator (LA). Typically, larger output loads utilize LA power for the output circuits. This information can be found in the Compact 5000 I/O Modules Technical Data manual.
The 5069-OB8 module operates on DC power and does not draw current from the SA Power bus. When installing this module, ensure it is placed on a DC Power bus. If your system utilizes both AC and DC SA power, it is important to separate them onto different SA Power buses. To establish a new SA Power bus, use a 5069-FPD field potential distributor. SA Power buses are isolated from each other to prevent interference. Follow these steps to keep modules on separate SA Power buses: 1. Install modules that use one type of SA power (such as DC) to the first SA Power bus. 2. Use the 5069-FPD field potential distributor to create a second SA Power bus. 3. Install modules that use the other type of SA power (such as AC) onto the second SA Power bus.
I appreciate your help, guys. Just to clarify, I did review the Controller manual before reaching out for assistance, and I made an effort to verify this information on my own.
What are the power consumption specifications for the MOD power and SA power terminals? Explore the power usage of the MOD power and SA power connections.
sstabnick inquired about the power consumption of the MOD power and SA power terminals, which can vary depending on the setup and processor used. The number of modules and field devices connected will also impact the current draw. For detailed information on current requirements of IO modules and a list of 5069 processors with their respective current requirements, refer to the document linked in post #2.

Absolutely, power distribution can definitely vary between different cards. I've found that smaller, more efficient cards often use less power from the MOD supply because they have lower internal electronics power needs. In contrary, larger or more complex cards, such as the 5069-OB8, might not follow the perceived standard as they have increased demand and may rely more on the SA supply. It’s always advisable to check the specifications each card maker provides to understand the necessities and make sure your power supplies can accommodate them for smooth operation.
You’re absolutely right; power distribution can definitely vary based on the specific card and its intended function. For example, while MOD Power often handles the CPU and core electronics, certain cards like the 5069-OB8 may have unique requirements or configurations, which can lead to discrepancies in how power is allocated. It’s essential to refer to the documentation for each card to understand its power needs and ensure that everything works smoothly together. Each automation setup can have its nuances, so getting a handle on these specifics really helps in achieving optimal performance and reliability.
